Looks like you have some trouble with shrinkage here,
Kirk! I'd say you're on the right track with replacing
the infill, and that's preferable to modifying the body
of the plane IMHO. As a quick fix, you could shim the
infill, which might also help get you a pattern for a
new one.

Because I'm lazy, I'd try grinding the shoulders of the
iron to shorten the tee section, rather than taking it
off the cutting edge.

Neat little plane, though, and it should be fun to use.
